congratulations to me! i made a blog.
not sure what prompted me to follow in this trend of typing out my deepest thoughts and feelings, while hoping to remain anonymous to everyone i know.
there is one blog in particular that, for lack of a better word, inspired me to start a blog of my own. i only wish i was as interesting as this person. maybe i am. maybe i am interesting and i just dont know it.
what makes a person interesting? is this a subjective thing? maybe you find Al Gore to be the most fascinating man alive, where as i couldn't care less (this is not to say i am not "green"...i just think Al Gore is boring).
perhaps there are people out there who find me interesting - okay, so my day consists of going to work, working, coming home, making supper, watching tv, going to sleep and repeat. but that's an average day, right? once in a while i'll manage something mildly fun and possibly interesting (really trying to comfort myself here).
i think what makes me interesting (if, infact, i am) is not what i do, but more what i say and how i converse with people.
i remember a time, in my college days, in a large group of people, someone asked me, "why are you so cultured?". they may not know this, but that one line has stuck with me for quite a while, and i take it as a compliment. the implication was that no one else in the group was as cultured as me and the complimenter had obviously noticed. i don't remember how i answered the question, since it threw me a bit of guard...something along the lines of "because i choose to be"...at least that's what i would have liked to respond with.
there are certain one-liners (like the one mentioned above) that seem to stick with us for a very long time, no? the ones i remember the best seem to, for some reason, have come from the same person. its a shame we didn't keep in touch, because he sure is a great man and i much appreciate him taking notice of qualities that i may not have ever seen in myself.
cheers.
